How does a sauna visit work?
You don’t need any experience at all.
Just step inside and let yourself be guided by the atmosphere. Have questions? Our reception team and sauna masters are always nearby to help.
Start with a shower before entering a sauna or steam bath.
After each session:
- Get some fresh air
- Take a cold shower
- Use the cold plunge pool
Then take time to warm up and rest again.
A simple rule: cool down for about as long as you stayed in the heat.
After that, you’re ready for the next round. Or not… just listen to your body.
In the sauna, always sit or lie on a towel. That’s the main guideline.
Not sure how to begin? These small tips can help:
- Start on the lower benches (less intense heat)
- Sit upright before leaving if you’ve been lying down
- Drink enough water
- Take your time
There’s no rush. This is your moment.
